New Hope Art Show

I exhibited my pastels at the New Hope Arts & Crafts Festival this weekend. Although it was pretty hot on Saturday and there was a little drizzle on Sunday the show was well attended and I had very good sales both days.
When I am not doing an art show I usually go for a long bike ride on Sunday mornings with my wife Linda and our many good cycling and triathlon friends. This weekend Linda and many of my friends stopped by during their ride to say hello to me at the art show. It was good to see them all and I kind of missed not being on the bike ride with them but I really enjoy doing the shows also. When I am out for a bike ride I not only get plenty of exercise but I always get many ideas from the passing countryside for future pastels.

Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show

I enjoyed a beautiful weekend exhibiting my pastels at the fall Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show in downtown Philadelphia. I had a very good show selling many of my pastels which I am very thankful for. Next weekend I will be back in Bucks County for the New Hope Fine Arts & Craft festival.

Phillips' Mill Art Exhibition

I am happy to announce that my framed pastel, "Rainy Day in Pineville", was accepted into this years Phillips' Mill Art Exhibition. The Phillips' Mill is located on River Road just north of New Hope, Pennsylvania. This is the 81st year for this prestigious art exhibition. The long history of the Phillips' Mill Art Exhibition extents way back to days when the Pennsylvania New Hope School of Impressionist Artists were actively painting in this beautiful part of Bucks County. I feel very honored to be part of this exhibition.

Doylestown Art Festival

It was good to see many old friends at the Doylestown Art Festival this past weekend. Not only did many of my art clients drop by my booth but I also greeted several old friends from my former life as an engineer for the US Navy and several of my friends from the athletic side of my life as a triathlete also stopped by to say hello.
Beyond selling art work I really enjoy doing these festivals because of all the nice people you meet.
I did have a pretty good sales weekend finding new homes for 17 of my new mini pastels. It is harder to sell the larger pieces right now with the bad economy but I am very thankful to all the people who are still buying my work.

Paxson Hill Farm Art Show

I had a nice time today exhibiting my pastels at the Paxson Hill Farms located near New Hope, Pennsylvania. I spoke to many nice people today that were very interested in my pastel landscapes. I was thankful to find new homes for several of my newer original pastels. As you can see from this posted photo, the art patrons were not the only ones curious about what was on display at this very nice show.
